How many times can rod and main bolts be torqued?

To reach proper clamp load, the fastener does get some plastic deformation. It is minimal.

A little plastic deformation won't hurt you, but as it keeps adding up, it will.

As in my first post in this thread, you can use them 4-5 times, after that you are pushing it...


This was also verified by the op calling ARP and they recommended 4 clamp cycles....
